You get my point no need to be a smartass. The Bungie ship has sailed and I wish 343 let those maps rest in peace. New developer, new era, new maps.

Your name is Wizman...

Barring any work engagements (hopefully I'm employed by then) I'll be there.

Have you been to Pike's place market yet? It's pretty cool. And you should definitely have seafood while you're there, or next time.

Also what description by BS Angel?

During one such recent session, our online battles brought us to an outdoor map that features a centrally located, multi-level building. It’s a place that strategic, communicative teams want to lock down and control. (That’s what some people around here say, anyway. The rest make their opinion known through the nicknames of each floor–Jerk 1, Jerk 2, and Jerk 3.) After Red Team successfully secured the advantageous center structure, Blue Team found themselves spending more time on the respawn screen than actually playing.

Oh lawd, what is this?

Never mentions it as a remake, sounds like a bad description of Exile, this also came right before the Exile announcement.

 

[Fracas]

It's not Valhalla

 

[DesertFox]

Man. I miss Waterworks.

I have so many good memories from that map. Dont understand the hate

 

[ArchedThunder]

It's not Valhalla

What makes you say that?

 

[senador]

It's Sandtrap so we can drive Mammoths on it and Mechs too to fight the Mammoths. It will be cinematic.

 

[Fracas]

What makes you say that?

3x zoom on a hill that overlooks 85% of the map seems like it would break it.

Forced BR starts for Valhala remake? Although hit-scan BR would probably ruin it as well.

Lol just remake a map that can handle 3x zoom.

Remaking a map and having to altar how the game plays, or make specific gametypes for it doesn't seem like the greatest idea.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Despite the fact that it's totally Valhalla, a popular BTB map that hasn't been remade yet, my second guess is Cragmire. They'll be a secret dead Elite Easter Egg you can find, with a single tear rolled down his eye.

If you think about it, that really doesn't narrow it down that much. That still leaves:

Death Island
Gephyrophobia!
Infinity, sort of.
Terminal...?
Reworked Waterworks? (Waterreworks) IT'S INSIDE. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Sandtrap if you want to get technical, but that doesn't make any sense at all based on Halo 3's gameplay
Containment if you count the side-structure.
Burial Mounds I guess...?
Headlong
Spire :lol
Relic!

The two italicized are my big bets. Death Island or Gephyrophobia revisited would raise the holy shit quotient exponentially though.

 

[senador]

I super highly doubt the remake will be from PC.

I hope its not relic, map is seriously bad at everything but one flag.

Wait, why are people assuming that description in the bulletin is of a remake map?

I would love Halo PC maps, but Frank's comment about uncontroversial suggests to me it's not happening. The PC BTB maps were huge though.

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

Me too. But I would kill to have an Infinity remake.

 

[Der Flatulator]

Remaking a map and having to altar how the game plays, or make specific gametypes for it doesn't seem like the greatest idea.

Only other options I can think of are increase the size by 10-20%, or add more cover.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Ninja is so fucking good.

 

[Havok]

Only other options I can think of are increase the size by 10-20%, or add more cover.

It'd need both, I think, to accommodate both Sprint and the DMR (and probably more than 10-20%). If they want it in BTB the extra space would be vital to expand that map's vehicle capabilities. The Wraith was always very cramped, especially on the lake side. Seems like a lot of trouble to go to.

The one on the inner left is clearly the alpha. He's like, "hey guys, I'll take care of this one"

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

Or just don't remake Valhalla. That sounds like a better choice.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Ninja just got some kind of crazy ass phantom snipe. I think he's gonna play it back.

Who said that the described map was the remake?
Adrift, Haven, Longbow, Exile. Remake, That's 5/10 maps, so theres a 5/6 chance that the map mentioned in the bulletin is not the remake.

Or just don't remake Valhalla. That sounds like a better choice.

But I like Valhalla!

 

[User 73706]

Stinkles, on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being the smallest map and 10 being the biggest out of Halo 4's shipping maps) can you say what size the remake is?

 

[heckfu]

Fuck you, too.

You're my favorite Darbabby.

 

[nillapuddin]

I hope its not relic, map is seriously bad at everything but one flag.

cause it was designed specifically for 1-Flag

honestly, it does it so well, I forgive the map for everything else

KILL IT! KILL IT NOW!

Yeah, seriously, that was nuts, ricochet was insane.

 

[kylej]

Ninja's replaying a Sanc game now that was disgusting. I remember he got two ridic double kills. He's insane.

 

[The Real Napsta]

I know why. Im just saying its not worth remaking a bad map because its good at one gametype.

 

[nillapuddin]

true story, but for DLC, designed for a purpose it was exceptional.

With 343 saying that the maps are purpose-built for MP and gametypes, that the OBJ maps will flourish like in Halo 2 days.

I wouldnt mind if one of the Map Packs was exclusively OBJ based or something

(pleads for interactive maps again, buttons, gates, trains, plzz)

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

The gate on high ground was a clever addition.

Yeah, I'd love for an assault and assym obj map where you physically unlocked paths. It was a shame that Invasion didn't feature that kind of side-objectives, it would have been the perfect mode imo.

Absolutely would have, thats why building "Invasion gates" are so popular (and fun! to build)

[Ajemsuhgao]

The gate on high ground was a clever addition.

This reminds me:

I wonder if we will get any maps that require interaction with the map to open new paths(like Zanzibar, High Grounds, Containment, etc).

Those were always fun to me, and sneaking into/fighting your way into bases to do do stuff like that made for some great times.

Why was that said in that vid? Peculiar. Just because they share the suit?

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

;_;

That particular gate setup wouldn't work obviously. But think of how Zanzibar was set up. Have to get up top, drop down, press button. Zanzibarin particular would be simple because of how close that button is to the ceiling, but the idea is still there.

Actually, imagine Containment. The giant door would probably be too high to jetpack over, you'd still have to take a different path up and jetpack could assist you on the way there, but it still wouldn't be super simple.
